Your telegram No. 1068. | /
Palestine.
I am at your orders.
. Secretary General asked me and Senator Austin
to see him last evening. He showed us a draft telegram
to all Governments of the United Nations notifying then
that the Secretariat planned to collect as complete a
library as possible of all Government publications
regarding valestine to be at the disposal of the
Committee that will study the question. °

4. L could see no harm in this though I observed
that there would not be many Governments that would be
able to produce any useful Governmental publications.
1. k&urpose of this telegram is to ask whether in
addition to the copies necessary for this Delegation of
the documents mentioned in paragraph 2 of your telegram
under reference you will send three of each for the
Secretariat "Library". (That is the number for which
the Secretary General asks).
5. I should think that this Delegation would
require at least six of each.

THE COMMIT iis cons idered a Report by the séint g AP od
Planning Staff preparcd in consultation with the G.-0,-Ce- sa
Palestine on the measures necessary Tor maintaining law end
order in Palestine during the next six months, having
special regard to the possibility of the imposition. of
martial Law over the whole oF the country.
STR SOR CUNNINGHAM said he wes concerned that in
the imposition of martial law over the whole country would
result in a demand for a great inercase in military _ :
staffs, whilst previously the Chiefs of Staff hud advised
the Cabinet that there were sufficient forces in Palestine
it might appear that. the previous advice of the Chiefs of
Staff hed been misleading.
In discussion, it was pointed out the tif martial.
law was declaved, large numbers of troops would be employed ©
on static duties cordoning off certain APE QS, whilst, in
addition, the military suthorities would become entire ly
responsible for the “Avini: te vtive ore anccth running of the economyand

Legal advice was bein: taken regarding the method of

poe TM further discussion, it was pointed out that,
whilst the Cabinet had been informed at their meeting
during the previous. week that the imposition of martial
law had resulted in the detention of 24 terrorists, the >
total of terrorists detained had now reached 78. [t was
estimated that the Stern Gang numbered about 1, 000,
whilst tne other terrorist organisations numbered between
~l,000 and 5,000. The proportion of. active terrorists |

——
My cla Beeley,
I enclose a copy of a telegram from the
High Commissioner for Palestine in which he suggests
that an effort should be made at the Special Assembly
of the United Nations on Palestine to secure the |
passing of a resolution investing the status quo with
United Nations sanctity and making it clear to men of
Violence in Palestine that acts of terrorism will
from now on be counted against. them as an affront to
the United Nations themselves, He makes this
recommendation not so much because of the effect such
&@ resolution would have on the extremists but because
it. would enable the "National Institutions" of the
Yishuv, without loss of face, to take positive steps
to curb the “dissidents”
This telegram has not yet been considered
departmentally here or by my Secretary of State but I
am sure that we shall very shortly be seeking your
views on the possibility of extracting such a
resolution from the Special Assembly without dangerously
expanding the scope of its deliberations. I therefore
send you a copy of the telegram in order that you may
make such preliminary investigations as seem advisable.

(1, eas Beele.,
It has now been possible to give further
consideration to the suggestion in telegram No. 731 of
uth April from the High Commissioner for Palestine, of
which Mathieson sent you a copy on 8th April, that an
effort should be made at the Special Assembly of the
United Nations to secure the passing of a resolution
investing the status quo in Palestine with United
Nations authority and making it clezr to the
terrorists that further acts of violence will be counted
against them as an affront to the United Nations.
se feel that the suggestion is a valuable one and
that a declaration from the United Nations on these
Lines would be of the greatest assistance to the
administration in Palestine. The extent, however, to
which it will be possible to give effect to it can only
be judged at the actual meeting of the Special Assembly
and in the light of circumstances then prevailing. If,
for example, it seemed that an attempt to obtain such a
resolution from the Assembly would give rise to an
undesirable general discussion, it might be possible, as
an alternative, to induce the President to include a
statement on the subject in his general remarks, without
leading to a debate.
If you agree, we sug,est, therefore, that a Copy
of the telegram should be communicated to Cadozan with

the request that he will consider the extent to which
effect car be given to the Hish Commissioner's
suggestion during the session of the Special Assembly.
I take the opportunity to mention that I reported
to the Secretary of State what you had told me of
Sir Orme Sargent's conversation with Sir sdwarda Bridges
and that he azrees that, for the present at any rate,
we should not proceed with the suggested approach to
Brook, The question of the representution of H.N.G.
during the discussions of the t-finding Comnittee,
which we expect at the Special assembly to appoint,
can be further cunsidered.when the course of future
vrocedure becomes clearer. Meanwhile, it is agreed
that the Colonial Office should be represented (probably
by myself) at the session of the Special .ssembly and
that for the succeeding stages we should secure the
attendance of an expert from the ralestine administration
in addition to Colonial Office representation during at
all events the early stages of the Committee. je are
writing to the High Commissioner about this and Suggesting
the release of MacGillivray (now an Under Secretsary in the
Jerusalem Secretariat) for the purpose.

Dear Department,
Terrorist outrages in Palestine are being
prominently and frequently featured in news broad-
casts. While the slant is not as a rule anti-British,
there are frequent references to "concentration
camps" and the outrages are represented as diversions
to cover the arrival of illegal imnigrant ships.
There is somewhat less speculation about the United
Nations side of the problem, although some reference
has been made to tne legal difficulties foreseen
py the U.S. Government in the proposal for an ad ho¢
Committee. Meanwhile some fifteen U.s. delegates,
led by Rabbi Silver, have gone to Palestine to
participate in the meetings of the Zionist Actions
Committee.
In the Senate, the new Republican Senator from
New York, Mr. Ives, made a maiden speech on Palestine
on 7th March. He said that the proposal to put the
problem to the United Nations offered little hope of
a constructive solution because the Assembly would
not meet until September and a body representing
fifty-five nations with a membership of several hundred,
most of whom were unfamiliar with the problem, could
not itself be expected to evolve a solution. It was,
he said, as yet unknown whether Britain intended to
invoke Article 14 or Article 77 of the Charter; if
the latter, the presence of Britain and the Arab
countries as "states directly concerned" would make
difficulties. He did not think the proposal for an

Palestine,
It seems clear that Zlonist leaders on both sides
of the Atlantic are now ysing this as their major line
of criticism for we have been subject to a barrage of
questions in a similar vein in New York.
mon EE i i
9, The controversy springs directly from Herbert
Matthews’ untimely story from London reported in
Washington telegram No.2U38 which has had an
unfortunate effect here. In dealing with the many
questions arising from liatthews' story we have merely
pointed to the fact that the Assembly has only power
+40 recommend and that countries are not legally bound
to implement its recommendations, In this sense report
quoted in your telegram under reference is accurate,

Secretary of State
The Foreign Office have come round to our view
that it is possible to bind ourselves in advance to accept
the recommendations of the Assembly on the future status
of Palestine, provided that the solution suggested by
the Assembly is one ot the three you mention in your
speech in the House on 25th February. These are:-
a) an Arab State
b) a Jewish State, and
ec) a division of authority between the two peoples.
Under (c) we can have either a unitary State
providing for a balance between Arabs and Jews, or partition.
I think that the text of the proposed statement
is all right except for the last phrase "of which they do
not approve’, which I personally do not like. Tthink
this might mean that if the Assembly decided in favour of
an Arab State and we felt we could not ourselves put this
into effect, we would have to incur the odium of the
Arabs by saying that we did not approve of Palestine being
made an Arab State. I would therefore suggest amending
this last sentence to read: 'ty M.G. must however reserve
their position with regard to carrying out themselves ot
any policy which the General Assembly may recommend",
It will be noticed that the Foreign Office have
dropped their objection which they made in their telegram
No.230, that by making adeclaration in advance we should
be contributing to the doctrine that there is some binding
Obligation to carry out Assembly recommendations in
general.
My own teeling is that we should not make the
declaration unlesswe are asked what our attitude is.
It seems slightly dangerous to bind ourselves to
anything in advance when the situation may change
between now and September.

Following from Secretary of State for
DLP Oe Sargent.
Your telesram Moe 5506.
I approve the formla cerntained in paragraph 3,
subject to the amendment to the last sentence,
which I think should read as follows;
Begins:-
"His Majesty's Government must however reserve
their position with regard to carrying out themselves
any policy which the General Assembly may recommend."
EndSe
2@e My reasons for this are that the last
sentence of your draft makes it appear that only
if we disapprove of the policy recomnended by the
Assembly, can we refuse to carry it out ourselves.
There may be other reasons, such as prohibitive
expense, for not wishing ourselves to implement these
recommendations, and I would therefore prefer not to
comnit ourselves as far as the last sentence of your
formula would dos. Moreover, it occurs to me that,
if, for example, the Assembly were to decide in
favour of, say an Arab State, we should not wish to
incur unpopularity with the Arab States by saying
that we disapproved of the recommendation though we
might not ourselves wish to put it into effeet.
J2e I also think that the declaration should be
held in reserve and should only be made at a suitable
moment, which may not occur until the discussion at
the General Assembly has actually begun. There is
certainly no need to volunteer it at this stage or in
any case to make it until after the Special Assembly
has appointed the proposed Committee.

decision in this sense under Rule 109. It would have
advantage that Committees would be in existence should

Palestine.
“Je are strongly opposed to Special .ssenbly setting up
the six main Committees provided for under Sule 101.
ve are anxious that assembly should confine itself.to the
Palestine issue (as stated 1n secretary-General’s notifi-
cation your telegram No. 1084): and on the assumption,
that it does so, appointment of the six main committee's
would be farcical. Further if it were to be agreed in
advance, that the committees should be constituted,
people would at once begin to search for ways and means to
‘ustify their existence and we should thereby run the
risk of seeing additional items proposed on the agenda.
Gor this reason we are not in favour of suggestion
mentioned in Last three sentences of paregrap
telegram tnder reply. _ It seems to us
be read as applying only to vegular sessions
present Special :ssembly all that is required is the
Committee to which the Palestine issue would prima facie
i.e. Committee 4) and that for present purposes Rule
exe)
fod must be regarded as that which applies.
De On the other hand it is of course clear that
ecial Assembly must have a Bureau to deal with Agenda
and Procedural questions arising 1a course of Special
Session. In order to get round difficulty presented by
Rule 32 to which you allude, we su est that Bureau of
Special Assembly should be constituted of President and
seven Vice-Presidents who will have anyhow to be elected
under Rule 26. Such a Bureau would itself be competent
to decide on how far assembl would meet in Plenary Session
or as a Committee of the “hole (i.e. the assembly sitting
in private session) or whether at a given moment a specific
issue would have to be referred to some ad hoe committee.
Woreover, in the (we hope improbable) event of extra items
posed for inclusion on the Agenda, such a Bureau
being pre
could then decide whether the items in question gaenec for

Dear Sirs 3° ee
Ca Séptember 5,1940,1 wrote you in reference to the j
Jewish problem In PatestineeUp to date you have not had the
common decency to answer mee
In all the years that England has had the Mandate over Palestéwe
the Jews were treated and are being treated worse than under
the regime of Hitler and hls stoogese
There rematns 1,500,::00 Jews tn Evrope today,mostiy in concen-
tration camps who cannot enter Palestine to Ilve a useful -
tite because of British suppreston but a non Jew ts allowed
to enter at wlfl.250,UC0 Poles from Gen.Anders Army can be ~
given British citizenship but not the Jews,! ask you why?
if the Poles can get special treatment thea surely these - - -
Buropean Jews should be given the privilege to migrate to -~
Palestine to avotd the Antt-Semttiem prevalling over the-
entire continent of Europe,tnctuding the British Isfes,
The bitter memortes of the gas chambers and Incinerators at
Auschwitz and Ravendruck where mitttons of Jews perished. are
certainly enough memories for the remaining survivors,and you
shovtd help instead of destroy 8 galant racegwhy don't you nelp
a homeless and tormentec race who are striving to tive a =
useful tifeaway from terror and strife.
Atlow them to work out thelr own desttny,and in the fong run
a jew will be a better friend to England than tngland Is to
the oppressed Jews. |
Acts of RapesArson and murder are committed against the Jews
and the culprits are allowed to go scott free or are given
light sentences,you are following the same toctics as Nazl
GermanyetThe top Off fctals of your government are out and out
few -Balters and |! can mentton Anthony Eden who fs the Brain
child of the Arzb League and your Labor stooge Ernest Bevin.
| hope and pray to the Lord that England wif} be on her knees
again someday and get the same treatment the jews are getting
to-day,thtis to answer for her stns against the Jews.

A
Sol boy could run
the Foreign Office of Britain
better than Bevin odes. He is
no honor to his people. The
only good -hécan confer upon
them is to resign. The longer
he stays in. office the more
contempt will he achieve for
his government. The recent
revolt against him by 100
members in Parliament is not
only symptomatic of the way
many in England feel toward
him, but of the way many in
other lands feel toward him.
We need go no further than
his speech on Feb. 25 in order
to see what a poor asset he is
to his country in particular H
and to humanity in general,
In his speech he insults not
only the President of America
but the intelligenve of the
whole civilized world. e at-
tributes to selfish motives the
commendable suggestion of
Pres. Truman that 100,000
Jewish refugees be allowed to
enter the Holy Land. He calls
it an election stunt.
Yet every intelligent person
knows that what Truman said
on Oct. 4, 1946 with regard to
Palestine was not only a repeti-
tion of what he said on Aug. 31,
1945, a long time before the
election, but a confirmation of
the unanimous decision by the
Anglo-American Commission.
Now if selfish motives were
behind Truman’s recommenda-
‘ion, then what, pray, were the
motives, behing the decision of
the Anglo-American Commis-
sion? This commission was
sponsored by Bevin himself,
Even if the above sugges*ion
had been made by none but
Truman during an election cam-
paign what’s wrong about that? .
The only thing wrong about an
election promise jis a failure *o
live up to it the way Bevin
is doing,
Before his election Bevin
and the whole Labor Party de-
noun:ed the White Paper as a
“cynical breach of pledges.”
They even gave the world to
understand that as soon as
they were elected they would
expunge this terrnble blot from
the British escutcheon. But
no sooner were they clothed
with power than they began
to spit upon their own
promises,
Yet nothing goes unpunished.
“The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceed-
ingly small.” All that’s hap-
pening in England today is, to
my mind, nothing but divine
punishment for her puttig oil
above honor and Mammon
above God.
Far be it from me to want
rCCorera
ing roughsited y
pledges, intercepting harmless
Ships carrying innocent men,
women and children, blotting
out their lives and their hopes,
while allowing such pro-Nazi
marauders as Emil el Husseini,
Kawukji and @Gthers of their
kind to go undisturbed wher-
ever they please?
Churchill may have his faults,
but he is by far more far-
sighted than Bevin and many
of his colleagues. As far back
as 1939 he said:
“Long before those five years
are past, either there will be a
Britain which knows how to
keep her word on the Balfour
declaration and is not afraid
to do so, or, believe me, we shall
find ourselves relieved of many
over-sea, responsibilities other
than those comprised within the
Palestine mandate.”

In a bitter statement on Falestine yesterday, Bevin accused the U.S. of
hindering a solution of the Palestine problem and charged American Jevis
with influencing the Jewish agency not to attend the recent London Con-
forence. Opening a full-dress debate in the House of Commons, Bevin
said that Jevish imaigration snto Palestine could have been increased,
end an szreement with the Jewish Agency could have been reached, if
America head not pressed Britain to admit 100,000 Jews. Hie advised the
Uege to recoznize the fact thet Britein is the landatory énd hes cer-
